Very glad to hear you've got the desktop going again. Unfortunately though, I haven't got the desktop effects running myself, still need to do a bit of googling, it's still a work in progress. I'll let you know as soon as I figure it out.

In a matter of fact,I like KDE very much. And there is a bug in JWM,there is no keyboard layot...
So I am again with your KDE + Lucid 5.28
Sometimes I have no sound,but everything is fine
I installed ATI drivers first,and then I entered in KDE,and so far,so good ...
KDE seems pretty fast especially when I am entering KDE.
And finally,my Photo card is showing pictures really fast... Just like in WI$dow$$
Great work,KDE buddies
And great work to you too my friend!
I have one question,how to install downloaded .pet packages without entering JWM ? Through Delphin is not working. Thank you very much for your patience.

and setting their values to /sbin/poweroff and /sbin/reboot respectively, this seems to sort out the shutdown issue.

I was initially looking there, but I didn't realize they required the whole path to work out. I just need to do a bit more testing to see if it's dependent on any of the other tweaks I tried before this one, but I doubt it.

Am I wrong ? My kdm file looks like this

The command (subject to word splitting) to run to halt the system.
# Default is "/sbin/poweroff"
HaltCmd=
# The command (subject to word splitting) to run to reboot the system.
# Default is "/sbin/reboot"
RebootCmd=
# Whether it is allowed to shut down the system via the global command socket.
# Default is false
#AllowFifo=true

The command (subject to word splitting) to run to halt the system.
# Default is "/sbin/poweroff"
HaltCmd=/sbin/poweroff
# The command (subject to word splitting) to run to reboot the system.
# Default is "/sbin/reboot"
RebootCmd=/sbin/poweroff

The part to change is highlighted in red.

To get Dolphin to install pets, click on a pet and when the "Open with" dialog pops up, type "petget" into it, and tick the "Remember application association for this type of file" box.

Having fun with this. Installed it on retro lucid 5.25 v4. Works. I played with it for a while then decided to install the xfce4 desktop available in the package manager. So far it seems to be a good combination.

It seems that KDE is falling apart. First,shortcut icons don't work.. There is no chance for new shortcut to put to desktop...
Second,there is few errors that I get on startup

Yes I've discovered that about the shortcut icons as well, it is annoying, but it seems to be just how KDE4 is. I'm sure there's some widget available somewhere though that can remedy it.

Those errors, hmmm, I've never seen them before, how did you get them? Did you tweak any files or change any settings you think could have caused those errors? I'd like to try and reproduce them on my machine so I can figure how to solve it.

"Ah yeah, the permissions, hope that works out for you, that's where things got messy for me. K3B would install, but I couldn't actually get it to burn. "

you should run it from terminal and see what error messages there

Actually I did a bit more twiddling with K3B, looks like it's still dependent on HAL even though KDE4 has depreciated it, and K3B themselves said it was no longer dependent on HAL, so that would explain why the devices don't show up :\

I'm not starting with KDM.

If you wanted to you could use PupShutdown to shutdown instead. You can find it the menu and right click on it to make it a favorite for easy access. As long as you're not using kdm to log in Pupshutdown will work and the kdmrc tweak will not work. If you're using kdm to log in, then the kdmrc tweak will work and Pupshutdown will not.

Great to hear you guys are having fun, I am too Thanks for all the feedback and support guys

I don't know how to fix kde shortcut errors,it is very annoying.
No,i don't tweak anything I have just installed some apps and uninstalling,nothing that could ruin KDE. And that is just one error,there are some more errors,but I am so tired of using KDE sfs,lot of bugs are really dissapointing...

Sorry to hear it's been so disappointing for you. Please don't use it if it stresses you up so much, while I do appreciate you letting me know what's wrong with it so I can fix it, I don't want you to get white hairs over it

You've helped me though smooth out some issues by pointing them out and I do appreciate it
